British Columbia, Canada a.k.a. "Hollywood North"!
Welcome!
British Columbia has always been an important connection to the international entertainment industry. Boris Karloff, Raymond Burr, David Foster and a host of other legendary performers have helped put BC on the map. Thanks to Chuck Davis' fascinating and informative Vancouver History site for lots of great trivia. If you like this site and have trivia to share, feel free to contact me at srduncan@shaw.ca. Be sure to visit the BC Entertainment Hall of Fame Archives
A young English actor named William Pratt arrived in Vancouver, got work as a carpenter helping to build what became the PNE. Later he moved to Hollywood and changed his name to Boris Karloff.
